Located in North East Spain, Barcelona is the capital of the Catalonia province and the largest city on the Mediterranean Coast.

Barcelona is a simply wonderful cosmopolitan and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. Whatever your tastes, you will find it impossible not to love this city!

The influence of Antoni Gaudi evident throughout Barcelona and the famous Park Güell, Casa Batllo’ and the still unfinished La Sagrada Familia are absolutely must see attractions during your stay.

Stroll through the narrow streets of the Barrio Goticio, the medieval heart of Barcelona and experience an extravaganza of light and sound at the magic fountain of Montjuic and anyone with an eye for fashion and passion for shopping will appreciate the designer shops of Paseo de Gracia.

Sporting tradition is taken very seriously in Barcelona and local people are understandably proud of the range of sporting legends associated with the city, even for non-football fans, a visit to Camp Nou, home to FC Barcelona can be an exhilarating experience.

Student stories on our blog

A few local favourites in Barcelona

Home to one of our most popular language schools (and my very own big sister) Barcelona is always worth visiting, especially if you are living there as a student on a Spanish language course! I have personally visited Barcelona about 10 times now and even after being back home for just one week, I can’t wait until I have the opportunity to return again. There is just so much to see and do and experience for not only the tourist, but also those that live there, discovering new things every week or even every day.

Very good teachers and very intensive course. I learned a lot. Because I only attended 1 week it was possible to borrow the books I needed for a deposit. After the initial test I felt that I was placed in the wrong group. I went to the staff and the following hour I could join another group that was perfect. I really enjoyed the lessons & the school in Barcelona!
